Red Sea AB+

[jimfish98]

I had a small can fridge to keep mine cool and it was just loud and putting off too much heat. Corals grew ok with it. Opted to give it up and switched to Tropic Marin Amino Organic and everything responded well, but it gunked up the doser occasionally. Figured I would give Acropower a try as another option and a few coral have responded really well, others have been dying back. Currently my GSP is barely out, its has not been a fan of the change. Would love to go back to AB+ but don't want a fridge. Have seen a comment or two on youtube about just hooking the bottle up without a fridge and having success.

Has anyone else just hooked a whole bottle up to a doser without cooling it?

I remember reading that you can keep it unrefrigerated for about a week.
So why not poor a weeks worth of AB+ in the dosing container?

If you run that method, the recommendation is not to just only add a week at a time, it is to flush the lines every week when you add more, which also requires you to prime the lines and calibrate every week. It defeats the purpose of a doser where you can set it and forget it so to speak and be hands off. At that much time, one might as well manually dose, of course then you lose the consistency of a doser.
